Full-page profile of Nikki Craft by staff writer Laurie Slothower, published in the Santa Cruz Sentinel (p. B-2, Sunday, May 29, 1983). Covers Craft's activism to that point: the Rockwell International B-1 bomber protest, WASP (Women Armed for Self-Protection), the Kitty Genovese Women's Project, the Stack O' Wheat Prints action at UCSC, the Preying Mantis Brigade, and the Myth California Pageant. Includes Craft's account of being turned down for a groundskeeping job at Eastfield Junior College due to her sex, and persisting until hired. This article is the sole citation used by Wikipedia's current 'Early life and education' section on Craft; the article contains no mention of Craft's later University of California, Santa Cruz senior ceramics thesis. Companion source to 'What Wikipedia Did to Nikki Craft — and Why It Matters' and 'But Is It Art Or Is It Politics?'
